Please check it out and subscribe!!!<br /><br />Today I will be reviewing Red Queen by Christina Henry which Titan Books very kindly sent to me in exchange for an honest review. I gave this book 4 stars on Goodreads.<br /><br />Firstly, I thought it was very different from Alice (the first instalment in The Chronicles of Alice). The plot basis is that Hatcher is trying to find his long lost daughter. Although, the book doesn't feel like a continuation but more of Alice building as a character. We get more information about the characters Alice and Hatcher's relationship, with more romance involved. However, Hatcher disappears half way through the book so the focus is definitely more on Alice. The book allows the reader to learn more about and her background Alice, especially her being a 'Magician'. Alice learns how to depend on herself and is shown to be the 'brains' to Hatcher's 'brawn's'.<br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; text-align:

I thought the Red Queen would have more involvement and she didn't seen like a very significant character. Sorry!<br /><br />Christina's character description was wonderful as usual and I particularly liked the goblin character, 'as if the whole skull had been pressed between two blocks and then a child had pulled the nose out long and chin down to chest'...'composed of patches sewn together, and Alice thought some of the patches looked like human skin.' (Page 70). The fingers Creeped. Me. Out! Similarly, the trolls were interesting characters too with the focus on their story within the plot. Cheshire is also in this book- guiding Alice on her journey. I quite liked that he broke up the story with quirks and advice.<br /><br />The ending was very good and Christina left the story open for another instalment so I don't know how many there will be. However, I will be reading the next book!<br /><br />'Off with their heads!'<br />Sofiee<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://d.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1453830827ra/17878412.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="description" border="0" src="https://d.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1453830827ra/17878412.gif" /></a></div><br />Sofieeloves10https://plus.google.com/114468711894351368458noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6929056051972763545.post-61547933950018669292016-06-21T06:18:00.000-07:002016-06-21T06:19:22.616-07:00Independent Book Shop Week 2016!Hello lovely people!<br /><br />I have been busy putting content up on YouTube: Sofieeloves10.

There had some special things happening for Independent Book week. Firstly, they had a Lucky Dip giving out ARCs. I received Foxlowe by Eleanor Wasserberg and it looks super interesting!<br /><br />The event that they were hosting was 'Book Therapy' by the lovely Eloise (shown below). Eloise asks you questions about what genres you enjoy, what books you read as a child and more. We had a lovely chat with coffee and cake. She suggested several books and gave me one, Not Forgetting The Whale by John Ironmonger. The other recommendations were: The Circle by Dave Eggers, Humans by Matt Haig, Golem and Djinni by Helen Wrecked, A Visit from Going Squad by Jennifer Egan and finally Bel Canto by Ann Pratchett.<br /><br /><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hcZz7PMO2Vo/V2b-S2V--4I/AAAAAAAAGRQ/raaO0AC9VyEK1R2zjsP8LD1NYs1gfYPLACLcB/s1600/13479884_10156941697725567_1891144783_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hcZz7PMO2Vo/V2b-S2V--4I/AAAAAAAAGRQ/raaO0AC9VyEK1R2zjsP8LD1NYs1gfYPLACLcB/s320/13479884_10156941697725567_1891144783_n.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />Eloise does monthly book subscriptions and her information, if you wish to contact her, is...<br /><div>Phone: 07769890607</div><div>Email: eloisebooksforyou@gmail.com<br /><br /><br />Later on that day we went to my local independent book shop, The Book Inn.

It was 'The Trilogy of Four' copy and I really enjoyed it! I gave it four stars on Goodreads as I felt some parts didn't make sense in the slightest which made me lose track of the plot a little bit. But as a whole it was really a funny and engaging story. </p><p dir="ltr">Soo for the tasks completed:<br>I have read an adult book... tick<br>I have read a book in a series (well the book is four books in one)<br>And I have read 765 pages in one week :) </p><p dir="ltr">I might dip into a graphic novel now and start the next tome tomorrow.</p><p dir="ltr">Happy reading fellow bookworms :)</p><p dir="ltr">Sofiee</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-wWZ8ZAndxr8/V13R-PhG6VI/AAAAAAAAGJo/j4fw4Xi4BZk/s1600/1465766129039.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-wWZ8ZAndxr8/V13R-PhG6VI/AAAAAAAAGJo/j4fw4Xi4BZk/s640/1465766129039.jpg"> </a> </div>Sofieeloves10https://plus.google.com/114468711894351368458noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6929056051972763545.post-73451545623001476452016-06-04T05:04:00.003-07:002016-06-09T01:43:43.362-07:00SERIES: Alice in Wonderland book adaptations. #1 Alice by Christina Henry<div dir="ltr">This is the first review of Alice in Wonderland boom adaptions. Alice by Christina Henry *NO SPOILERS*.</div><div dir="ltr">Firstly, I really enjoyed this book and I gave it five stars on Goodreads. </div><div dir="ltr"><br />The story starts with Alice trapped in an mental asylum. She can't remember why she's kept there, only flash backs of a tea party with her friend and a rabbit. However, the result of the 'party' is her friend missing and Alice covered in blood. </div><div dir="ltr">The asylum that Alice now lives in is situated in 'Old City' a place full of criminals, juxtapositioning 'New City'. Alice has an interesting relationship with a character called Hatcher who was in the cell next to hers. Hatcher, who has a thing for axes and bloodlust, takes Alice on a journey...</div><div dir="ltr"><br />The adaption is very different from others I have read. It is very dark and kept me on the edge of my seat...Literally! I read this book in two sittings. The characters are portrayed in interesting ways, for example, the Cheshire Cat is a title for a character. Cheshire is portrayed as human with some cat aspects to make the character more believable in a real life. We stay in 'Old City' so all the magical things happen in a run down suburbs, not Wonderland. The journey reminded me of America McGee's Alice video game. It is a warped and twisted version of Wonderland, made scarier as it's set in real life.</div><div dir="ltr"><br />I would recommend this book to anyone that is into thrillers, murder mysteries and science fiction. There is some graphic content just to let you all know! </div><div dir="ltr"><br />Stay tuned for another Alice in Wonderland adaptation review!</div><div dir="ltr">Sofiee</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0ub_AZVdbKY/V1kr5pNkzfI/AAAAAAAAGIE/_7yz9mFLEmYYfKaMWJzzrorW-Ic-ZeGdACLcB/s1600/Screenshot_20160609-093016.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0ub_AZVdbKY/V1kr5pNkzfI/AAAAAAAAGIE/_7yz9mFLEmYYfKaMWJzzrorW-Ic-ZeGdACLcB/s320/Screenshot_20160609-093016.png" width="180" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Sofieeloves10https://plus.google.com/114468711894351368458noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6929056051972763545.post-562921158112170202016-06-04T05:04:00.001-07:002016-06-04T05:04:34.137-07:00June TBR<p dir="ltr">Hello, it is Summer now?<br>(We maybe not in England!)</p><p dir="ltr">This month has been very productive reading wise.

I read ALL the books except for Shades Of Grey. I finished An Ember To Ashes last night and loved it- I gave it five stars on Goodreads! Another five star read was A Mad Zombie Party and I hope the series continues. I loved the character developments. Also, I read Saga #33 and #34 as well as the intended #32. I will be read #35 after writing this post :). Roses was another good read, I believe I gave it four stars. I do love a good fairytale retelling. And the last book I read this week was a short story book about&nbsp; Venice which was cute and informative. </p><p dir="ltr">In total I read 7 books/ comics during this week...

The other books I read this week follows: Dorothy Must Die, Mrs Pepperpot Stories, Why Not Me? And Noughts and Crosses. The latter was definitely my favourite of the month!

Well its more like an overflowing bookcase! I already had a box of books that I knew I wasn't going to read and I decided to go through my bookcase to see if there was anything else that I wouldn't read. Here are the books I picked out plus Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel, I don't really like historical fiction :(. I already own a copy of Vagina Monologues so I thought I would get rid of one copy. Its soo hard to part with books, but I need to keep books that I will actually read!&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What do you all do with your unwanted books?

Please discuss!<br /><br />The synopsis is based on an eight year old girl, Peggy and her survivalist father James. James' wife has an affair with his friend so he decides to take Peggy to Germany (where his wife is from) to become 'proper' survivalists together. They live in a bunker in the forest and live off the land. James tells Peggy that everyone in the world is dead except from them. However, every other chapter in the book is based years later in London with Peggy, her mother and brother. <br /><br />The plot flowed really well and was captivating throughout. I loved the two intertwined plots and the language was always 'on point'. *Spoiler* I want a sequel to find how Peggy as re-adapted to London and how she copes being a mother to what must be her father's child. Now that is some Freudian mess!<br /><br />This is a perfect read for international women's day as Peggy is a brilliant example of a strong female protagonist.<br /><br />Five stars and would highly recommend :)<br />SofieeSofieeloves10https://plus.google.com/114468711894351368458noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6929056051972763545.post-44691917960634882732016-03-01T11:09:00.002-08:002016-03-01T11:09:55.187-08:00A mishmash of January and February read books<div dir="ltr">Another late one sorry!

I am currently 100 or so pages into Give Me The Sun which I'm quite enjoying. I love the edition I have with the yellow pages too! </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">In #rainbowthon I started with Tuesdays With Morrie as it was the shortest book! I really enjoyed Albom's The Five People You Meet In Heaven, so I thought I would give this book a go as it's a more popular book of his. However, The Five People You Meet In Heaven is still my favourite!<br /></div><div dir="ltr">Then I read Everything I Never Told You (the second shortest book) which is apparently comparable to The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. I now might read the latter book as Everything I Never Told You was a intriguing read with lots plot twists.&nbsp;</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">But my favourite book in the readathon was The Storied Life Of A.J. Fikry. The story begins in a bookshop with a grump owner who requires a baby so I knew it would be a good read!</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">Hope you read lots during #rainbowthon!</div><div dir="ltr">Sofiee</div>Sofieeloves10https://plus.google.com/114468711894351368458noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6929056051972763545.post-1630168450283642402016-02-02T02:34:00.001-08:002016-02-02T11:13:08.060-08:00Rainbowthon 2.0 TBR<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I will be taking part in #rainbowthon on the 7th to 14th Feb.

I'm sorry but this rant was inevitable (angry full stop).<br /><br />Oh hi Sofie, you've just graduated right? What are you doing now?<br /><br />..........<br /><br />The dreaded question. My answer is always, 'I'm taking a year out and working. Then, I want to study a Master degree.' Is that the RIGHT answer? I always tell myself that it doesn't matter people judge you anyway.<br /><br />The main idea behind this blog post was to discuss how hard it is for graduates to get into their desired career. I myself would like to work in the publishing industry so I've been applying for jobs at different companies. Their standard reply is always-You need work experience first. So I applied for work experience and then I still don't get anywhere *sigh*. My next step was to attend a Master degree in publishing but there aren't any universities that run that course near me. Then, there's getting the funding or how the hell am I supposed to live?!? So what's a girl to do?<br /><br />Right now I have tabs up of different Publishing MAs and I'm still unsure what to do. Maybe rethink my career choice or hide my head in the sand and hope things turn out for the best?<br /><br />Please comment and like my post :)<br />Sofiee<br /><br /><br />Sofieeloves10https://plus.google.com/114468711894351368458noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6929056051972763545.post-44548127560801278812016-01-26T13:05:00.000-08:002016-01-26T13:05:10.350-08:00Top 15 books of 2015<div dir="ltr">This post took me a while to put together as I couldn't decide on the top 15.

Also, I am still reading Ship of Magic and The Bazaar of Bad Dreams...<br /><br />However, I did read Ariel, Animal Farm, A Monster Calls and A Touch of Death. So not too bad for a weeks reading!<br /><br />I'm over half way through Ship of Magic which I'm really enjoying even though it's a mammoth of a book! I think I'll get back to reading now and try and finish the three books.<br /><br />I will be posting 15 favourite books for 2015 soon so stay tuned!<br />SofieeSofieeloves10https://plus.google.com/114468711894351368458noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6929056051972763545.post-19156473817810531772016-01-06T03:06:00.001-08:002016-01-07T12:42:35.292-08:00#TBRTakedown 3.0 update <div dir="ltr">Yesterday I manged to finish Ariel and A Touch of Death. I was really suprised that I enjoyed the latter! I consumed the book quickly and then decided to break up the books with some poetry. After that I started The Bazaar of Bad Dreams. I've decided to read a few of the short stories a day... Now I'm back to reading Ship of Magic and I'm enjoying it!</div><div dir="ltr">Back to the books,<br />Sofiee </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-cn-vMkbOoKk/Voz2bEiMj0I/AAAAAAAADSU/CsdxARE_zcw/s1600/20160105_143848.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" height="225" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-cn-vMkbOoKk/Voz2bEiMj0I/AAAAAAAADSU/CsdxARE_zcw/s400/20160105_143848.jpg" width="400" /> </a> </div>Sofieeloves10https://plus.google.com/114468711894351368458noreply@blogger.com0
